"We're headed to the one place that can never decline because it was never that great: Upstate New York."
Last night while everyone was watching the epic battle for Winterfell on Game of Thrones, upstate New York got brutally mocked on Sunday's episode of The Simpsons. During the episode titles "D'oh Canada," Homer sings of parody of Frank Sinatra's "Theme From New York, New York," that is full of savage roasts.
Here is a clip of the song:

Hey @TheSimpsons you have a whole musical number about Upstate New York and not once is there a reference to Steamed Hams. I’m disappointed.

Here are the lyrics to the song:
"Start watching Fox News,
Stop watching your weight
There is no fancy part of it
Upstate New York
They’re fond of their booze
Hot wing sauce is great
I’m going to clog my heart in it
Upstate New York
I want to sleep in, in a city
That never wakes
And find I’m fitting right in
One of the gang
Par for the course
The Kodak plant closed
But I’m longing to stay
And go on disability In Upstate New York
Can’t make it anywhere
But I can make it there
I love you so
Upstate New York
Benedict Arnold fought here, baby!"
